Hey folks, hope everybody here is doing well. There are tons of ways people do this, no shortage of methods but this one works well for me and hopefully somebody gets good use of the info. Above I've got openbox-session uncommented and am using openbox. Only one should be left uncommented at a time and switching is just a matter of editing this file. To select what I'm going to use, I just uncomment one of them, removing the # in front of it. # exec gnome-session -session=gnome-classic # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
After which the sucker should be up and running again. If at some point in future you wish, re-enable the sucker with "sudo systemctl enable lightdm" and you may also need to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" too. Another would be to use "sudo systemctl disable lightdm" to disable lightdm and keep it from automatically starting every time the system boots up. Couple options, remove the display manager from your OS, you can always reinstall it later if desired.
For all this automagic-ness to work, you'll have to change that.
#Arch startx not found password#
You'll be met with a command-line login to enter the user and password you want to use.įinally, you likely already have a display manager running. Easy, peasy, just skip step 1 (or remove the directory/nf file. NOTE: Ok another scenario, the above is perfectly fine for a single user system but what about a multi-user one or one on which you want to be able to login more than one username. Once it's selected it'll launch as default x-session until something else is chosen. In the above, I'm installing something to the x-session-manager group of update-alternatives, in this case, fluxbox, /usr/bin/fluxbox is where fluxbox errrr, lives and I'm giving it a priority of 40 there. Sudo update-alternatives -install /usr/bin/x-session-manager x-session-manager /usr/bin/fluxbox 40
